I’m a bit skeptical of that, honestly; it’s so hilariously bad that I’m not really sure that it’s plausible. Does anyone know of a channel where it’s actually happening?

Yes, it happens in every channel Sigyn is on. I saw it. notably in #freenode-policy-feedback (which is now moderated)

    063901  <iovoid> rasengan, are you planning on meaningfully answering? So far your only two replies about the article were "Nope." and "Nope."

    063922  <ByteMe> rasengan: they won't trust easily, and exerting more control over channels than previous freenode staff ever did won't help bridge that gap

    063931  <eno1> rasengan: test ping

Edited: by the way, Sigyn is freenode's anti-spam bot

Edit 2: if you have doubts that 'rasengan' is the trigger:

    064338  <Wolf`> RASENGAN!

Why can't he just stop for a bit and let the dust settle?

Why would a person who did what they did stop for a bit? It's just not part of their personality.

This is getting ridiculous.

This rasengan guy is effectively pushing people off the network by being such a dumbass.

Some people don't know when to stop digging.

We could wonder how many time left until they do the same with the words "libera"...
